During the meeting of the Presidency of the SP held this Thursday, it was decided that the officialization of the names of the candidates who will compete in the local elections on May 14 will take place at the next meeting on March 25. This date turns out to be 2 days before the legal deadline for the registration of candidates in the CEC.

But, despite the fact that there are more than two weeks left from this deadline, it seems that most of the names on the list of SP candidates have been confirmed. This was also confirmed by Prime Minister Edi Rama, who in his speech at the end of the Presidency meeting, declared that the Socialist Party has ready the team that will compete in the local elections.

Sources for Vox News.al inform that today's meeting of the Presidency of the SP has dealt a blow to Niko Peleš, who hoped and was struggling with every means he had in his hands that he would be able to re-candidate for the Municipality of Korça his "puppet", Sotiraq Filo.

The dissatisfaction of the people of Korça towards the current mayor Sotiraq Filo was also shown by the polls conducted by the Socialist Party, where Filo was the least liked by the citizens and this made Prime Minister Edi Rama decide not to re-candidate him for another term. at the head of the largest municipality in the southeast of the country.

To this day, Sotiraq Filo has been considered by the Korcars as a "shadow" mayor, as he turned to Peles for any dissatisfaction, claiming that the mayor was just a "puppet" in his hands and that the minister has turned the city into a monopoly of his.

Sources indicate that the candidate of the SP for the Municipality of Korça will be one of the current prefect Nertil Jole and the former prefect and ex-deputy Ardit Konomi, who have resulted in polls many times more popular than Sotiraq Filo.

The name of Nertil Joles has been hinted for many months that he will be the candidate of the SP for the Municipality of Korça, but in recent weeks the name of Ardi Konomi has also been mentioned, where it has turned out that his figure is very popular in the city southeast.

The polls were conducted and in comparison with the two DP candidates, Ledina Alolli and Gjergji Gjata, where it turned out that Jole and Konomi have greater expectations to be declared winners.

Who will be between these two remains to be seen, but what is confirmed is that we will not have a re-election of the current mayor Sotiraq Filo.

The non-re-election of Filos seems like a blow to Niko Pelesh, where a while ago it was hinted that he had a clash with Prime Minister Edi Rama, who was expected to dismiss him from the post of Minister of Defense, but until today this has not happened. , however, it remains to be seen how the relationship between them will continue.
